Storage Near Rocklea: Furniture, Cars, Caravans
Rocklea has been Brisbane's most flooded suburb for well over a century: 1893, 1974, January 2011, and the markets went under again in 2022. That history is the reason Rocklea is industrial rather than residential, and why its resident population peaked back in 1976 and has been falling ever since. If you run a business off Ipswich Road or out of the Brisbane Markets on the Sherwood Road side, and you want your overflow somewhere that is not sitting on the Oxley Creek floodplain, we are less than four kilometres away on elevated ground.

For peace of mind, your belongings are kept in our fully fenced and gated Archerfield yard, watched over by 30+ security cameras on site.
Why Rocklea businesses store off site
Two reasons, and they are usually the same conversation. The first is water. If you have cleaned out a Rocklea shed after a flood you do not want the second copy of your stock in the same catchment. The second is cost per square metre: warehouse space on Ipswich Road is priced as warehouse space, and a lot of what sits in it is not stock that moves, it is stock that waits. A private 20ft container at $349 a month is a cheaper place for things to wait.
Getting from Rocklea to the yard
Under four kilometres. Beaudesert Road to 675 Beaufighter Avenue, Archerfield, and you are there in minutes. Rocklea is the shortest run of any suburb we serve, close enough that you can pull stock in the morning and be back before the market traffic builds.
The higher ground question, plainly
Our yard is elevated, fully fenced and gated, and the hardstand is sealed bitumen rather than fill. We are not going to make a guarantee about a one-in-one-hundred-year event that nobody can honestly make, but we are not on the Rocklea flat, and that is the difference most people are ringing about.
What it costs
Private 20ft container: $349 a month, about 14 square metres of lockable space that is yours alone. 40ft container: $650. Open-air bay for trucks, trailers, plant or vehicles: $250. Bay plus container: $599. Bring your own container onto our hardstand: $270 for a 10ft, $349 for a 20ft, $649 for a 40ft (by enquiry). Month to month, no lock-in, no bond, no admin fee.
What the yard handles, and what it does not
Pallets, stock, tools, fit-out gear, trailers, tracked and wheeled plant. Drive-up access, so a forklift or a hand pallet jack works straight off the tailgate. What we do not have is power to the containers, so nothing refrigerated and nothing climate controlled. The containers run a 12-vent ventilation system, which handles humidity, not temperature.
